Starta.one
To book through Treatwell, clients find a salon on the marketplace (next to your competitors), choose a service and time, create a Treatwell account, and confirm — and Treatwell takes 35% commission. With Starta.one clients message on Telegram: 'book me for Friday at 4pm' — done, no commission.
Treatwell is a hybrid marketplace and salon software (Treatwell Connect). It can bring new clients, but charges 35% commission on new bookings (~42% with VAT), reclassifies clients as 'new' after 12 months of inactivity, and offers limited management tools. Salon owners widely report poor support, no ability to reject bookings, and double-bookings from lack of calendar sync.
Starta.one gives you full control with AI automation, advanced CRM, financial reports, and zero commissions.
